  6. Single cells gene expression profiling and analysis Vendula Rusňáková Laboratory of Gene Expression Institute of Biotechnology AS CR

  7. Our studied model - Astrocytes • 90 % of neural cells are glial cells • 80 % of glial cells are astrocytes • Astrocytes have a star shape • Typical marker – Glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) • Main functions: - Structural (surroundingof neurons) - Extracellular transportof K+ - Capture of glutamate - Reparation of CNS 100 mm Protoplasmatic astrocytes in grey matter

  8. Design of Experiment Transgenic mouse GFAP promotor GFP (green flouorescent protein) (all cells expressing GFAP are green)

  9. How to analyze qPCR data? Descriptive statistics – mean, count, median, distribution, correlation coeficient Principal component Analysis (PCA) Kohonen self-organizating Map (SOM) Dendrograms Ståhlberg et al. Methods 2012, Berkvist at al., Methods, 2011, Benesova et al, PlosOne, 2012

  10. Conclusions • We have developed and optimized method for single cells qPCR and analysis • It has been proved that PCA and SOM are useful tools to find new groups of cells • We have identified new subgroups of astrocytes in development of reactive astrogliosis • We have identified new genes which are important in reactive astrocytes

  11. Why to study single cells? To identify and characterizerare cells To explore population heterogenity Total # of = 6 Total # of = 4 Total # of = 4 Total # of = 7 Total # of= 7 Total # of = 6 To refine biomarker analysisand truecorrelations of transcripts

  12. Single cells gene expression workflow Cell collection Lysis Reverse Pre transcription amplification qPCR Data analysis Ståhlberg et al. Expert Rev Mol Diagn. 2011

  13. Results PCA SOM All cells were divided into 3 groups by both methods. Rusnakova at al., submited Cerebral Cortex, 2012

  14. Results 3rd principal component in PCA divides reactive astrocytes into two subgroups.
